Suggest Remedy For The Blood Blister Due To Ear Piercing
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...My 9 yr old had her ears pierced 4 months ago. She has kept the same starter earrings in the whole time and keeps them clean with the cleaning solution she was given. However she now has a large blood blister behind both ears. We have taken the earrings out and cleaned them again but if we leave the earrings out for too long her holes will close. My daughter really wants to keep her ears pierced. Do you have any suggestions for us? I m I causing more harm by leaving the earrings in her ears?
Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic. I am supposing that your daughter's ears are pierced by following all aseptic precautions using sterile equipments by professional. If you notice, pain, redness, puss, swelling, blister suggest possibility of Infection or allergic reaction to metal. For keeping ear pierced hole open, pick earrings made of hypoallergenic materials such as sterling silver or 14- or 18- or 24-karat gold. These types of metals are not likely to cause an allergic reaction. Don't use nickel as it can also cause allergic reaction. Clean the entire area surrounding the piercings (front and back) with alcohol on a cotton swab two to three times a day. You may use antiseptic ointments also. During each of these cleanings, make sure the earring backing is secure and then gently rotate the earrings. If swelling, rednesss etc still persist consult your doctor.
